Disclosed herein is a configuration of a writing volume of a spatial chirographic reader facilitating an on-line method of recognition of handwriting characters. The writing volume may be partitioned by an ink depth into a positioning stereographic hemisphere and an inking stereographic hemisphere. Two projection spheres may be made to intersect on a projection typeface plane forming a disc encapsulating the writing volume. A center of the disc may be a universal reference point for converting handwriting movements of a stylus to inferred rotations. Characters may be mapped to reference rotations, wherein on-line reader data may be compared to effect identification of the characters. Labeling of cardinal positions and graduation of rotation paths may be configured such that inking strokes of a particular writing system may be observable in a minimal number of integer factors of rotation of π radians. An overriding convention of eliminating representations leading to ambiguity may also provide for apparent redundancy of representation by adjustment of the radius of the inferred sphere of rotation and partitioning of the typeface into segments having independent coordinates distinct from the principal axes. Enumeration of writing strokes may be constrained by recording radial torsion components to an inking axis and twist torsion components to a writing plane.
